Genius:
“I am grateful for being so generously introduced. But I hasten to point out that all humans are born geniuses. However they are usually degeniused rapidly by perverse circumstances. Most perverse is the ignorantly and lovingly lavished don’t or do that cultivates that which does not ‘come naturally,’ and discourages much of what does ‘come naturally,’ There is nothing innately exceptional about me. I was just lucky.”
